Quote Jackson has such a rare combination of size, skill set and developing athleticism. He unquestionably offers the draft’s best combination of three-point shooting (38-of-96, good for 39.6 percent) and rim protection (No. 4 block rate in the country at 14.3). In a draft with a ton of bigs expected to go near the top of the lottery, no one fits better into the modern NBA than Jackson, even if his per-game stats are essentially half of what contemporaries Marvin Bagley and Deandre Ayton posted. I’ve had Luka Doncic as the No. 1 player in this draft since last June, but Jackson is giving him a hard push in my mind right now. I have him solidly as No. 2 on my big board. He’s talented enough to be a star in this league. https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2018/5/18/17367520/nba-draft-combine-2018-grayson-allen-mohamed-bamba-trae-young I doubt JJ drops to 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love if Bamba falls to us and if Trae is still available around 8-10 we give up a future first + 2nd rounder this year + Okc pick + filler to draft Trae. Then draft Jevon Carter in the 2nd. Resign Gordon and pray Mario shows us mercy and resigns. Next Season run a line up of: Trae/Mario/Isaac/Gordon/Bamba Carter/Simmons or Ross/Fournier/Speights/Birch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Fournier, 1 second and future first for Parson and their first round Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure he expires the same year as biz. We would have a ton of money coming off the books that season. This also fits the time frame where if our young guys develop to the level we hope they will, we could actually attract a quality free agent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,458 Report post Posted May 18, 2018 Fournier, Mack and a 2nd rounder for Parsons and their pick? They get a starting SG, they can waive Mack's partially guaranteed contract for cap relief and we sweeten things with a 2nd rounder. We take on Parsons terrible deal but get another lotto pick. I can't imagine were going to be big players in FA the next couple of seasons anyway and the summer of 2020 we'd have Biyombo, Parsons and DJ all going off the books for a total of nearly 50 million with a chance to potentially make a run at a group that includes Leonard, Irving, Butler and Draymond Green.
